HC Deb 30 July 1924 vol 176 cc2037-8
16. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether any decision has been reached by the Board with reference to the abolition of fees for naval cadets, as in the case of the American and Japanese Navies?

Mr. AMMON

The matter is still under consideration.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Can the hon. Gentleman give any indication of the date when the decision will be arrived at?

Mr. AMMON

I am afraid I cannot, but I hope it will not be very far distant.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Before the House rises?

Major HORE-BELISHA

Is this matter one of such baffling complexity as the question of marriage allowances?

Commander BELLAIRS

Can the hon. Gentleman state the cost?
